The Salt Exchange Restaurant will be hosting Owner Peter Merriam of Merriam Vineyards Wednesday November 14th beginning at 6:30pm. Chef Adam White has designed a beautiful five course tasting menu to accompany five complex and dynamic wines being showcased. Peter Merriam brings his love for living on the edge and a finely tuned sense of focus to his vineyards and winery, with passions that span from the extreme in adrenaline to the extreme in patience. Peter's wife Diana was raised in a New England home where food was not only the focus of the kitchen, but also the means of the family’s livelihood. Diana Merriam was transformed when she was introduced to the intricacies of food and wine during her honeymoon in France. It was in France that Diana’s natural spirit of warmth and hospitality found new inspiration. Diana is a natural cook, and her kitchen is where her family thrives. She is faithful to her local farm stands, shopping nine months of the year at one of six stands within a fifteen-mile radius of her home.
